(a post can have multiple tags) I have three tables: Posting-->posting_id, title, detail, etc tags-->tagID, tagname postingtag-->posting_id, tagID I want to display all t...
Can someone explain the statement below to me with a working sample/example. thanks in advance.

In SQL Profiler you can see that very simple updates to a table by primary key take about 10-30ms each. On about every 10th update the write column shows 1, on all other updates it shows 0. This must mean that about every 10th update statement still requires disk IO. I wonder why that is. Would it not be more efficient queue up all IO un...

MSSQL 2008. I am trying to construct a SQL statement which returns the total of column B for all rows where column A is between 2 known ranges. The range is a sliding window, and should be recomputed as it might be using a loop. Here is an example of what I'm trying to do, much simplified from my actual problem. Suppose I have this d...
